These 16 game units are integrated into a package and distributed to 1-16 children for simultaneous play, with each child engaging in a different game theme, and then exchanging games.

[0034] In this utility model, the term "three-dimensional cartoon miniature" refers to a small part that carries the image of an animal, a person, or other natural or non-natural object. Animal miniatures and person miniatures can be portraits or complete parts. Natural objects include, but are not limited to, mountains, water, plants (such as flowers), the sun, the moon, etc., while non-natural objects include clothing, tools, household items, vehicles such as cars, etc.

[0035] In this invention, the term "paper button" refers to a small, button-shaped component made of paper material, which carries planar information such as numbers, cartoons, or symbols. This invention is not limited to this; the small component can also be made of other safety materials.

[0036] Figures 1 to 4 This invention illustrates the components of one unit module of a game tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein... Figure 1 This shows control panel 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The images shown are the front and back of Task Card 2. Figure 4 This shows building material kit 3. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the control panel 1 is divided into a first area 11 and a second area 12, with the second area outlined by a dashed frame. The first area 11 is used to detachably hold the task card 2, and the second area 12 contains a first map for completing the game. In this embodiment, the first area 11 is located in the upper half of the control panel, and the second area is located in the lower half. As a variation, the control panel can also be arranged horizontally, with the first area 11 located in the left half and the second area in the right half. The relative sizes of the first and second areas can be adjusted according to the size of the task card and the size of the first map.

[0037] In this embodiment, the operating panel 1 is a cardboard, the surface of which is preferably treated with abrasion resistance, such as by covering it with a protective film or coating. The thickness of the operating panel can be in the range of 0.2-5 mm, preferably not less than 0.5 mm, and usually not exceeding 3 mm is sufficient. In other embodiments, the operating panel 1 can be made of wood, plastic, or metal. When using plastic, the operating panel can have a porous structure, for example, by foaming, to achieve lightweight. When using paper materials, it is also preferred that the cardboard be made into a porous structure, with the surface protected by a protective film or reinforcing film.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the first zone 11 is defined by only an outline. During gameplay, the player can place the task card within this outline. In an improved version, Velcro, magnetic material, or a snap-fit ​​structure can be provided in the first zone 1, and a corresponding device can be provided in the task card 2, thus enabling a detachable connection between the two.

[0039] In another preferred embodiment, the first area 1 is defined by a shallow groove or perforation, the shape and size of which match the task card 2. Specifically, in this case, the control panel 1 has a certain thickness, for example, 1-3 mm, made of multi-layered paper, wood, or plastic, especially foamed plastic. The shallow groove occupies part of the thickness of the control panel, but can accommodate the task card 2. The task card 2 and the shallow groove 11 are detachably connected by friction around the perimeter, allowing the player to hold the control panel upright or tilted to show it to a partner or caretaker during gameplay without the task card 2 falling off. The same applies when the first area 1 is a through hole; when placing the task card 2 into the through hole (the size of which corresponds to the area and shape of the task card), the control panel can be laid flat on the table, and then the task card 2 can be pressed into the through hole.

[0040] The connection between the control panel 1 and the task card 2 can also be modified in other ways. For example, a slot is made on the two adjacent sides of the through hole or shallow groove, such as the first side and the second side. When the task card is pressed into the shallow groove or through hole, the task card is moved slightly towards the first side and the second side so that the first side and the second side are embedded in the slot. This can also achieve the connection between the task card 2 and the control panel 1, so that the task card will not fall off when the control panel is upright.

[0041] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The first guide map is provided in the second area 12 of the operation panel 1, and the second guide map is provided on the front of the task card 2. Figure 4 This is Construction Material Kit 3, which includes a set of construction components 32. In this embodiment, the construction components 32 are numbered paper clips distinguished by two colors and outlines. A second guide map provides guidance or hints on how to complete the game. The configuration of the first guide map matches the second guide map, providing constraints for placing the construction components 32. By using the clues, inspirations, or hints in the second guide map, combined with the constraints in the first guide map, the player will understand how to use the construction components 32 in Construction Material Kit 3 to construct the resulting pattern in the second area.

[0042] For example, in Figure 2 On the second diagram on the front of Task Card 2, black and white patterns mark empty spaces, indicating where construction component 32—number paper clips—can be placed. Orange square-outlined number labels and alternating pink circular number labels correspond to the two types of number paper clips in construction component 32. By observing the first and second diagrams and the construction components, and through association, children can, without adult guidance, select the corresponding number paper clips on the first diagram in the second area to construct the desired pattern based on their existing number knowledge. This game helps children practice addition and subtraction within 10. After completing the game, children can compare their constructed pattern with the reference pattern on the back of the task card (…). Figure 3Compare the two (as shown) to see if they are consistent.

[0043] In this embodiment, the digital paper clips 32 are housed in the integrated plate 31. The integrated plate 31 has storage holes 311 that correspond in shape and number to the building components 32. After the game ends, the digital paper clips are pressed into the storage holes 311 to complete the storage of these components.

[0044] In a unit module, multiple task cards 2 can be set, for example, 4-10. In a typical embodiment of this utility model, each unit module contains 6 task cards. The second guide on the first side and the reference pattern on the second side can be changed around the game theme, but the logical relationship remains unchanged.

[0045] A connecting mechanism can also be provided to allow for detachable connection between the building components and the second area of ​​the control panel, enabling children to pick up the control panel 1 and demonstrate it to their peers or teachers during play or after completing a task. For example, slots, mounting holes, magnetic materials, Velcro, or snap-on mechanisms can be provided in the second area of ​​the control panel, and corresponding mating structures or components can be provided on the communication components.

[0046] In this embodiment, each unit module also includes a demonstration guide card, which is preferably integrated on the back of the operation panel, such as...
